c'mon man,
do you want the hip to stand still ?
i think time will reveal the quality of IVL and M@W.
its like someone back in the day turning up their nose at Sergeant Pepper because they're a "Love Me Do" or "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" kinda guy..... their entitled to their opinions but superior songwriting isn't "jumpin the shark" in my book.
everyone has their own reasons for liking the hip and have their own favorite era. however, me personally, when i try to push hip on a non-hip fan i have to get around the stigma of the old stuff. its only when i play new tracks like "dire wolf", "stay", "sharks", "the bear", "good life", "use it up" etc. that they change their perceptions for the better.
i think the gordo and the band is growing creatively (obviously) and certain fans are growing with them. the ones who don't get stuck on an old album and can't get around it.
just my opinion.....
